Chapter 457 Lot

"60 gold."

When Jia saw that no one took action, he raised his hand and said.

Jia Yi said one by one, and the entire venue immediately became quiet. He turned around to see who took action. When he saw a mage in the corner, he immediately turned his head back, as if he hadn't seen it.

Machila Jia said: "Are you crazy? Why do you want to take action? This is what we sold."

Jia broke free and said, "Aren't I afraid that no one will be embarrassed to buy it? Moreover, 50 gold is too cheap, and the cost price is not enough. Even if I buy it, I will not suffer any loss. Look, someone will immediately break the silent bid. I just set it off for them."

The retail price of white paper in the college now costs about 50 copper. The unit price of these white papers is only 10 copper. No matter how you calculate, you can't suffer any loss. The cost price of a copper paper mill cannot be reached. If it cannot be sold like this, then he has to consider whether the market demand for white paper is really as large as imagined.

In this auction, the price of 50 gold is not high. Most of the lots are sold at a price of more than 100 gold, and it is impossible to say that they can't afford it.

After Jiayi bid, I wondered if it was because of the identity of Master Jiayi - he was wearing a robe, and non-wizards would not dare to wear it like this - so I became a little quiet for a moment.

The auctioneer's forehead was sweating slightly, feeling that he had made a mistake. Jiayi was also a little nervous. If no one really made a bid, it would be funny and he would be a slogan.

Maggie was still snuckling Kaichi's arm, as if he was blaming him for bidding.

The auctioneer picked up the little hammer and was about to start yelling when suddenly a voice shouted: "61 gold."

"Hu~" The auctioneer and Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and finally the second person bid.

After Jia exhaled, he quickly looked to the side, not to be funny if Chester just bids, but fortunately, this guess did not become a fact, and it was indeed the price offered by the rest of the people.

Just now, everyone was not interested in white paper. There were many people who were interested. It was just that this unit made them doubt how much white paper was and how much it was appropriate to bid, so no one decided to make the decision, so they all fell silent for a moment.

Those who come to the auction are all adults, so there is no need to consume impulsively. Otherwise, those who buy things at high prices will be laughed at by their peers. Most of them are merchants, with interests first.

Now some people start bidding because people have calculated the value one after another and have their own reserve price in their minds.

Since the second person bid 61 gold, there have been a constant stream of people who continue to bid, and the price of one gold and two gold has risen like this. In most auctions, no one will reveal their own reserve price at one time, and the increase in the goods will not be too fast. Everyone hopes to try out the other party’s reserve price first and then quote it themselves.

"150 gold." Suddenly a voice attracted everyone's attention, the price almost doubled, and he just shouted more than 80 gold.

"You are too slow. It's worth winning below 200 gold. Which day should you add one gold or two gold?"

"Then it's 200 gold." Someone couldn't stand it and pretended like this. Okay, if you say 200 gold, then you'll pay it to 200.

The price of 200 gold is no longer cheap, but buying it is not a loss. It’s just a profit. The price of white paper in the college is about 50 copper, but the price will be higher when transported here. This is almost equivalent to only making a trip fee.

However, it is not over yet. Some people are still bidding. As a fast-moving consumer goods, white paper is more valuable when the quantity is large. If it is just a few pieces, everyone may lack the enthusiasm to buy, but after the quantity is large, the application paths are wider and more attractive. Even if it is a premium, everyone is willing to accept it.

At this time, all the people who have the idea of ​​finding a bargain will be eliminated.

The final transaction price was 256 gold, a very thoughtful number that surprised Jia. If he used a storage bracelet to transport a few tons of white paper, he would make a small profit. Originally, he thought that 150 gold would be enough, but he didn't expect that the person who bid 150 at one time would immediately activate the atmosphere.

In the following time, the atmosphere of the auction gradually became popular, and everyone's bid was not as conservative as it was at the beginning, and the expression on the auctioneer's face also became much more relaxed.

Jiayi was not interested in the remaining lots. Later, there were several large-scale auctions of goods. It seemed that someone went to sea to explore the new waterway and had to temporarily transfer the goods to raise funds.

Jiayi was a little worried. Although these people went to sea with their own intentions, the Valocca Chamber of Commerce played a very important role in promoting it. If Leno had not been to promote sonar, perhaps this vigorous new channel exploration operation would have been later and the participation would not have been so wide.

Next, there were several magic materials auctions. Chester sold two of them as auxiliary materials for his staff. However, this auction was mainly aimed at human aristocrats, and there were not many magic materials. Most of them were relatively rare materials, and they were not widely used, so the collection value was greater than the practical value.

The auction is approaching its end and the night is getting darker. The auctioneer said: "The next one is our last three items. You can take a break and see the night in the sea. The chef has prepared a midnight snack for everyone, please taste it."

"Wow~" Everyone started to cheer in an instant. At the last moment, they even aroused everyone's appetite.

Although everyone was a little dissatisfied, they were indeed a little hungry at this time. Everyone came to the restaurant one after another, picked up the food and chatted, and exchanged the auction just now, congratulating the people in the auction, but maybe they were thinking in their hearts that this silly 13, spent so much money to sell such a thing, is really a model of stupid people having a lot of money.

Of course, perhaps there is no saying "people are stupid and have a lot of money" here, but this is what it means.

Jiayi and the others took the food to the deck. The night in the sea was like a heavy curtain. Only the stars and moon in the sky brought some light, and then shone on the sea surface, bringing out some rippling waves, making people feel as if they were in the starry sky, unable to tell the difference.

The surroundings seemed very empty and quiet, with only the sound of the wind, and then mixed with the noise coming from the boat, it seemed increasingly quiet.

Even though Jiayi had seen such night in the sea many times, he still felt a shock, as if he was just a speck of dust in the entire galaxy, looking so small, but he also had infinite yearning for the world above the starry sky.

I wonder if the stars here are the same as those on Earth? Is there really a kingdom of gods among the stars?

The rest time in the midfield was not long, and the auction soon began.

The auctioneer came to the stage and bowed slightly apologetically to everyone.

"We continue to conduct the auction. Do you know the sketching genre?"

"Sketch?" Jiayi and Maqi looked at each other, wondering if the sketch in the auctioneer's mouth was the sketch they knew.

Someone below also said, "Do you know, a new way of painting? The things you draw are very similar, and they have that kind of three-dimensional sense."

The auctioneer smiled and nodded to the other party, and then said: "Yes, the newly created sketching method of Jiayi painter has become popular in the painting world. Several masters of painting think this is a new breakthrough in painting, extending from inside the paper to outside the paper. However, Jiayi painters' paintings are very rare, and they often seek one but are unavailable. Today, what we auction is not the painting of Jiayi painter, but a manuscript, Jiayi painter's sketching skills manuscript."

As he said that, two people came up from below. The auctioneer uncovered one of the lids, and a manuscript was quietly lying inside, which was written on white paper.

Jiayi finally confirmed that the Jiayi painter who has been talking about on the stage is himself. If the sketch and perspective drawing method others may invent, and the name may be repeated, but now the manuscript on the stage will not have any problems. This is his manuscript for Gwen, which writes in detail the key points and techniques of sketching, as well as the elements of perspective and the concept of no shadow points.

But he didn't understand why his manuscripts had flowed here at the auction, thousands of miles away. Wasn't this what Gwen asked her to draw plants after asking her to learn and help her draw plants?

The people below were all excited in an instant. This manuscript was indeed worthy of one of the last three items. Although none of the people below could sketch, or even considered painters, it did not prevent them from collecting this thing. As a pioneering work of sketching, this thing will only increase value and will not depreciate.

Moreover, having this is a great effect in making friends with painters. I think few painters would refuse to see the original works of the "Master". Although the status of painters at this time was not as high as that of later generations, not everyone could see the top painters.

Only Kaichi seemed a little embarrassed. He still felt a little subtle as he heard the people on and off the stage praising him so much, and he felt a little embarrassed and a little secretly happy.

When everyone was a little quiet, the auctioneer opened another lid: "And in addition to this manuscript, another precious collection, newspaper."

The auctioneer paused for a moment and gave the following people a reaction time: "This is not an ordinary newspaper, but all newspapers issued by the first issue until now, including the first edition of the newspaper. This edition of newspapers has very little printing volume. After changing to different printing fonts and styles, it is out of print. It has great collection value."

Jiayi and Maqi looked at each other. When they were in Memphis, they found that someone had already begun to pursue the first issue of the newspaper and spent a lot of money to buy it for collection. However, they did not expect that just a few months later, the first issue of the newspapers were all in the auction, although it was just a big deal.
